When I went to the Belgian GP back in 2018 Daniel pulled off an overtaking maneuver while driving a blue Aston Martin with Red Bull livery on me in my hired campervan on the way to the track, it was more of a DRS move completed in the overtaking lane, down a hill, under the legal speed limit, than a deep divebomb into a corner... sadly. And yes it was way too late (and completely reckless and illegal) to close the door on him by the time I saw him.

The longest nonstop commercial flight in the world is scheduled at 18 hours and 50 minutes from Singapore (SIN) to New York City (JFK). So can be done by one crew. Plane used however has max reach of 8h on full tanks, so they have made a stop to refuel. So there is chance offcourse they did a crew swap, it is unlikely.

Honestly with all the sustainability crap that's going around F1, there should be rules to track and reduce a team's entire carbon emissions as a whole. I see that these private jets are an absolute waste of resources and money. No point tightening f1 engine rules which might just account to about a 10th of carbon emissions in comparison to private flying by team drivers, principals and members.

The manufacturer is pronounced 'BomBardeeyay' Kym.
